Albania learned its UEFA Nations League opponents in Brussels. The draw placed the national team in Group C1, alongside Belarus, Finland, and San Marino.

Despite the draw and assigned opponents, the team’s main focus remains the upcoming and crucial 2026 World Cup play-off matches.

In an interview with fshf.org, coach Silvinjo emphasized the importance of the current moment. He said the Nations League is always a tough and exciting competition, played quickly over two to three months. This edition will take place in just two months, featuring many strong teams.

Silvinjo added that Albania cannot focus on the Nations League yet, as the team has spent the last month and a half preparing for the play-offs. He stressed that the play-offs are extremely important for the federation and the country.

“A tough group, yes, but right now our attention is fully on the March play-offs,” Silvinjo concluded.
